Maybe the book is about a guy who’s 60 feet tall and likes to hold his gun in an awkward and unnatural position, you never know.

I have to give it a posren because the angle of the foreground shadow is almost the same as the portico’s shadow.

But in the wrong direction.

I am developing a theory that lousy book cover artists have never observed anything outside in the real world.

y’know, without the human shadow, it wouldn’t have been awful. Not amazing, but…not awful. Passable.

Yeah, that’s actually the best 3D font effect I’ve seen on a lousy cover. Which isn’t saying much, really, just that I’m surprised they did it right. Without the shadow, it wouldn’t have looked lousy.

But shadows just don’t work that way. They’re not cardboard cutouts, they follow the shape of the objects the fall on. And they certainly don’t fall under a 45 degrees angle.
